Is your car a S2? If you have a neo motor I would have thought you would be producing closer to 200rwkw. (I am only guessing this based on the level of mods between your car and mine looks similar)

S1 so non neo engine.....

atomalty,

I made 265rwkw in mine, my mechanic installed every part from stock and is just right around the corner form R.E Customs in you wanted to pop in and get hime to work on it.

It was a brilliant car to drive when it was finished.

Ooo pm me the contact. :)

RS4S opens up lots of choices for ECU's from PowerFC, ViPEC, LinkG4, E-MU, Nistune etc.

standard turbo, exhaust, FMIC, a little more boost usually = around 200rwkw +/- 10kw (remove the front driveshaft for 2wheel dyno)

AWK won't be that different but subtract a few kw's.

pull the front driveshaft and back to back test it on the 4W dyno then we will all know the difference on a stagea. :)

i'm leaning towards the nistune.. anyone else got a nistune on their RS4S ? :cool:

where would be the best place in Melbourne to get one installed? (RECustoms? :P )

or is there anyone else who would reccommend something else? (for a similar price) ;)

Status Tuning in Dandenong.

Trent (URAS on here) does a heap of different ECU's and piggybacks.

^^^ yeah what he says.

talk to trent about what you want and he is more than qualified to match an ECU to your needs.

nistune was not an option when i installed the powerfc on my RS4S plus i have a powerfc and datalogit already for the R33 so this was the best option for me at the time it went in.

You're making over 400bhp already - what else do you have planned for it?

hey :thumbsup:

got 8x S15 480cc injectors already, and a remap planned with Toshi.

just need to save, then will have 2 chips - 1 for stock inj. 240rwkw & 1 for 480cc inj. 260rwkw

:banana:

Very, very impressed with 'Springy Motors' at Springvale. Speak to George - he's a legend. Got my car back yesterday and it goes like a new machine! See the results of my setup below:

2000 Stagea RS-Four S

'Nistune' computer + tune

3" turbo-back (JJR front pipe, Catco hi-flow Cat, and HKS Hi-Power Silent cat-back & Calsonic Hi-Flow Air Filter)

Cooling Pro 'Stealth' FMIC (Finally got this fitted correctly at Springy too!)

Boost tweaked to max. spike of 14psi.

I didn't think was too bad a number for 4-wheels! I'd be happy to PM you with more info, Atomaly.

+60 kw with a tune? That's a fantastic result. All s2 owners would benefit from getting the nistune as early as possible so as to gain maximum benefit from each subsequent mod!

Although it is a pretty amazing increase, the 125kW figure would have been a bit higher before I put the FMIC in (I had a cooler pressure leak and a split hose at the bleed-valve). With the stock setup, the power didn't dip off that noticeably in that range. I might have gotten around 140kW originally, but still, an increase of even 40kW is just awesome! The car feels great now - you can really notice the g-force kick after about 4,000rpm now, and you can feel the four wheels just getting the power down in lower gears without breaking traction. Stoked with the outcome. Highly recommend the 'bang-for-your-buck' value of the Nistune. There's no gizmos or adjustment in-cab, but I didn't want all that anyway.The results speak for themselves, and the car is now setup specifically for my mods.

Well I have finally reached the limits of my current sidemount at 225.7 AWKW. Car was making more power but smic was getting hot so current tune is the safe setting. I conclude that the GTT or s2 smic is good for about 220AWKW but you would probably see benefits from a front mount from about 200AWKW onwards (i.e. when you replace your turbo). In my case I am going to stick with the smic but I'm looking for an ARC one which should enable me to retune to 240AWKW which will do me for now. Car seems very fast now (80-120km/hr in 3 seconds flat) and I will try to get a 1/4 mile time this summer ( won't be that flash but Í am interested to know).

Relevant mods (excluding the thousands I have spent on suspension and brakes):

76mm exhaust with split dump and no cat (still a bit restrictive as very quiet)

Stock turbo highflowed by GCG

Walbro fuel pump wired to full battery voltage.

550 DeatschWerks injectors

Z32 AFM

Nismo smic (similar in size to GTT but allegedly slightly more efficient)

Pipercross panel filter in stock airbox

GReddy adjustable exhaust cam gear (set at 3.5 deg ret so 4 deg pretty muuch OK)

Jaycar IEBC set at 1 bar

R32 ecu chipped by X-tune and piggybacked on to stock ecu.

Thanks to Joe (Joe's Mechanical Services) and Andy (X-Tune)

I'm not the expert! Z32 was an option but Andy the electronics whizz chose the R32 one. There was a heap of work involved. If I did it again I think I would go with either the Greddy E-Manage or get a wire in Link (Vipec).

Very nice power - what boost are you running every day on the road?

Its not an everyday road car but at the moment the profec b is set at 1.2 and 1.56 . I have the Greddy remote boost switch on the steering wheel which swops it over at a touch (definately the best toy I have ever bought :banana: )

Well I can't compete with those 500hp+ figures from the UK, or Tangles' awesome S1, but here are my 'before' and 'after's. First one was done at my 100K service and was completely stock apart from a K&N panel filter in the stock airbox. Then there were some mod's, and a re-tune. I am very happy with the result so far anyway.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
